"**Bills & Aches & Blues**" is actually not an album by Big Thief; it is a compilation album released in 2021 by the independent record label 4AD as part of their 40th anniversary celebration. The album features a selection of covers by various artists associated with the label, interpreting songs from 4AD's extensive catalog.
Big Thief, an American indie rock band formed in 2015, are indeed associated with 4AD, but they are not the primary creators of this album. However, they contributed a cover to the compilation. The album includes cover songs spanning across different eras of the label's history, showcasing the influence and reach of 4AD over the decades.
Each participating artist revisits tracks by former or current label-mates, thereby contributing their unique style and interpretation to these earlier works. This collection highlights both the rich legacy of 4AD and the creative talent of its current roster, offering a fresh take on beloved tracks.
